    leaves the scene is considered to be illegal in the United States. If a white dwarf would collide with the sun this would be the exact case. It would take around an hour for the white dwarf to go completely through the sun and then after causing great destruction and changing the chemical and physical properties of the sun it would just continue on its path and leave behind massive destruction. The first time a white dwarf and main sequence collisions were studied it was done by Michael Shara

    In the first opening scene, Snow White is referred to as a “lovely little princess.” In her first appearance, she is cleaning and looks as though she is in despair waiting to be saved. Snow White is portrayed as young, virginal, pretty, obedient and incapable of helping herself. This movie having been released in 1937, conveys what the “proper” gender roles of the time were. In Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, power is segregated between genders and even to this day, the stereotypical gender roles

    Anyone old enough or young enough to have some kind of recollection will be able to remember some classic movie or cartoon created by Walt Disney and his team of animators. One in particular is Disney’s very first feature length film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. With this film having great success and being deemed a classic movie seen by the majority of the population it is inevitable that parts of the artwork used to create the film would be taken and or altered for other uses such as internet

    collaboration. This defines the culture as tight-knit and collaborative in all their efforts. There is, “The Bremen Town Musicians”, “The Seven Ravens”, the “Six Who Made Their Way”, “The Three Little Gnomes in the Forest” and the famous seven dwarfs from “Snow White”. There are tons of examples on how the culture is one of collaboration, where the community helps each other out in the worse of all conditions, and where participation is almost a given. We have forgotten one small fact here, though. The

    spectra. These types of supernovae exhibit a sharp maxima in their light curves, then gradually dies away. There are three subclasses of type I, Ia, Ib, and Ic. In type Ia, the white dwarf star has a companion star in a binary system. The stars must be close enough where the red giant’s material may flow into the white dwarf.

    hydrogen; forming helium deep within them. The energy moves outward, giving the entity enough resistance to the pressure of collapsing under its own weight, and making it shine. Some stars shine faintly and some shine brighter or hotter than the sun. Red Dwarfs are the smallest of stars, and shine for tens of billions of years. Hypergiants, the largest stars in the known universe are one hundred or more times larger than our sun, and emit hundreds of thousands of times more energy. That being said, their

    Have you ever wondered what a supernova is? Or even if the word t is a real? Well I’ll be talking about what a supernova is, what it does, and how it is made. The word supernova is plural for supernovae or supernovas. The definition of a supernova is any violently exploding stars after eruption suddenly increases many millions of times its normal level. The supernova came around the 1930’s by Walter Baade and Fritz Zwicky. Supernovas are very rare to see they happen every 50 years in the Milky Way

The white dwarf is what stars like the Sun become after they have exhausted their nuclear fuel. A typical white dwarf contains carbon and oxygen has a mass similar to the Sun, but is smaller.

    its material when it undergoes this type of explosion. The explosion of a supernova can also help in creating new stars. There are two types of ways a Supernova can be triggered. The first trigger is the result of a white dwarf accumulating matter from a companion. This causes the dwarf to reach a core temperature too high to survive which in turn makes an explosion. The second trigger is when a star’s nuclear fuel is diminishing and can no longer support the release of nuclear energy. If the star’s

    energy supplies are used up leaving behind a hot core that is still surrounded by the expanded outer layers. The outer layers are eventually expelled by stellar winds which end up creating a planetary nebula and the hot core left behind forms a white dwarf star where the pull of gravity is supported by degeneracy pressure (p. 538 Bennett en al. 2013).

  • Stellar Evolution

    Stellar Evolution A star begins as nothing more than a very light distribution of interstellar gases and dust particles over a distance of a few dozen lightyears. Although there is extremely low pressure existing between stars, this distribution of gas exists instead of a true vacuum. If the density of gas becomes larger than .1 particles per cubic centimeter, the interstellar gas grows unstable. Any small deviation in density, and because it is impossible to have a perfectly even distribution

    Professor Lawrence Krauss claims that, “In our galaxy, there are over 100 billion stars alone.” (“Extreme”). Each one of those stars is a factory which slowly builds the materials for the foundations of the universe (“Stars”). Stars are as varied as people. While they are all born the same way, they do not all die the same way. Some stars live fast and die young; others die slowly and quietly (“Extreme”). The life cycle of a star is violent, they churn, pulsate, and sometimes explode, but the products

    The Life Cycle of Our Star Nebula What is a nebula? A nebula is the birth of a new star. Cloud of gas and dust in space. Mostly made up of Hydrogen and Helium. The cause of a nebula has come from a huge collapse of gas, also known as Interstellar Medium. A nebula’s lifecycle is less than 1 million years old before they burst into a supernova. Because of gravity Nebula forms a star Protostar Giant clouds form around a star that creates pressure--nebula. Differences in temperature create a gravitational

    Conception Nebula as Star Nurseries Stars are born in the interstellar clouds of gas and dust called nebulae that are primarily found in the spiral arms of galaxies. These clouds are composed mainly of hydrogen gas but also contain carbon, oxygen and various other elements, but we will see that the carbon and oxygen play a crucial role in star formation so they get special mention. A nebula by itself is not enough to form a star however, and it requires the assistance of some outside force

  • The Life of a Star

    In the endless expanse of intergalactic space, stars are in every stage of being born, radiating huge amounts of energy, transforming and dying. When one finds out more about how stars are formed, what they are made of, and how they die one cannot help but to be awed by the complex processes and vast transformations that take place in the lifecycle of a star. A star's life begins in a nebula, which is an interstellar cloud made up of dust, hydrogen and helium gas, and plasma. Nebulas have been called
